interlude. prince's legacy(4)
When the atmosphere in the military camp calmed down a bit, Phoenix opened his mouth..
“First of all, there is no one who can replace the prince. Everyone agrees‘?”
“of course.”
“yes.”
Drivers expressed agreement by speaking briefly or nodding their heads..
“However, it is my opinion that there should be a temporary person in charge until he returns, and that should be me..”
The silence that I don't know how many times has taken over me..
Ankir frowned as if he was confused about whether what he heard was true..
“Him? Your Majesty!?”
“yes. Prince Ulkar..”
“Now, ‘until the lord returns.’
That's what you said?”
“ yes.”
The giant knight showed his embarrassment with his bulging eyes..
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about??”
“It's exactly as I said..”
“Sir, do you believe that your master will return? sincerely?”
To Ankir, who leaned his upper body forward as if he was about to attack, Phoenix shrugged his shoulders and answered..
“Of course it won't be easy. But you can't just sit there and ignore it, right? “You have to try something.” “… … I know what Kyung is talking about right now.?”
“why? Lord Ankir don’t you understand? I don't think I said something that difficult..”
“no, i mean-”
Ankir swallowed his breath as if he was speechless and shocked. On his behalf, Ariad expressed the absurdity in words..
“Lord Poynix. Judging by the circumstances, His Majesty was transferred to another dimension, specifically the dark world. Do you still think that He will return??”
“I'm not saying that he will definitely come back, but it's just that it's not impossible..”
“……Heh heh. Do you know how to say such nonsense? I guess I still didn't know anything about the sutra..”
As Ariad burst out laughing, this time Ryam stepped forward. There was something similar to pity in his gaze toward Phoenix..
“kyung. “Do you know where the soul goes when a person dies?” "yes? Uh-well, I don't know. Whatever it is, it will be held in the arms of the Lord.?”
“…… Very few do. Only those who have been chosen by the Lord can reach the Land of Love and Light. Those who enjoy such blessings are often called saints or blessed..”
Liam's face hardened and he sighed..
“This means that they are so rare that one or two people appear every century. Except for such exceptional cases, the soul of the deceased usually goes to the underworld. I am not speaking based on the teachings of the church. That is the common testimony of those who deal with mysteries..”
“Ah - yes. That's right.”
While the Red Knight was scratching his chin and reflecting on 'common sense as a Poynix', Lyam calmly added his words..
“During the battle at Zellntree, Sir died for a short time. remember?”
Phoenix recalled his first confrontation with Saint Baek Hofken, a vassal of his father, Burcard, and the swordmaster of the Empire..
He got into a close fight with an old swordsman, and was unexpectedly fatally wounded by the male and female. Bubbling acid slime stuck to my face, and an awl-like dagger was stuck deep in my chest..
“While Princess Theodora and other priests restored the Lord's body, the half-elf, a shaman from the western plains, captured his soul..”
“It was like that.”
“The wizards and priests were all shocked. It was the same with the knights. A young woman who had just had her coming-of-age ceremony went against the forces of the underworld and against the laws of nature. Although it was a pagan thing, it was definitely something that could be called a miracle..”
“……Suddenly bringing that up,”
“Crossing a dimension is so difficult that it cannot be compared to the miracle shown by the half-elf, ‘the reprieve of death’. It's so clear that even I, who's not good at mysteries, can understand it..”
The knights nodded at Lyam’s assertion. Hülter, who was sitting quietly, also agreed..
“Besides, it's not the underworld, it's the dark world. Among the dimensions of evil, it is a place called a seat.……
His words represented the world's point of view.
Civilized people in the present world, or Middle Earth, are aware that the world is made up of a total of nine dimensions. Based on the middle world, the general idea of the world was to regard the world of light, heaven, eternity, and the spirit world as the 'dimension of good', and the remaining world of darkness, the underworld, the salt world, and the world of illusion as the 'dimension of evil'..
Turning to Phoenix, who was sitting quietly, Ryam concluded:.
“It is impossible to return someone who has transferred to the dark world. It would take a miracle as great as bringing the dead back to life, no, even more than that. In a word, my lord-”
He closed his mouth for a moment, as if swallowing something that was boiling over him. And I barely finished speaking..
“Lord, you can never come back..”
Before the crowd was engulfed in a gloomy mood, Phoenix quickly opened his mouth..
“You are so negative..”
“Just face reality.”
Liam comforted Phoenics with his sorrowful eyes..
“I also understand your thoughts a hundred times. But now-”
“No, what do you understand? I'm also talking about reality..”
“Sir Phoenics.”
“Whether it's a messenger from the dark world or that shady guy, we'll catch him..”
“•…"What?”
“The idea is to capture someone who has the ability to travel in and out of multiple dimensions and find out how..”
Poynix explained again to the knights who had blank faces because they did not readily understand what he said..
“Those of you here will know that I reported to the Prince about the Dark Knight. I think I'll start with him first..”
“……nonsense.”
Langbolt, who had remained silent after venting his anger once, let out a cold sigh..
“I already heard that there is another monster. But, so what? Are you going to interrogate him? They are going to torture you by saying things like, ‘You master of the devil, please cooperate in saving your master!’?”
“……Uh, that's it. The context is roughly similar..”
The Red Knight scratched his eyebrows with an embarrassed expression. The blue knight shouted loudly..
‘‘This is stupid-!”
He raised his fist with the intention of smashing the table. And at the last moment, I quickly let go of my anger and tapped the table with my outstretched palm..
“……Lord Poynix. please. please think
Please try.”
A look of exhaustion and frustration appeared on my face, which had somehow managed to calm my anger..
“As the Lord said, let's say we need to find a way to go back and forth between dimensions, and a way to thoroughly search the dark world, which is as wide as this middle world. How much time will it take until then??”
“……You have to try it to find out.”
Phoenix slightly tilted his head..
‘Let's say I fell into this world around this time last year, and I've cleared Chapters 2 through 5 so far... … . The Dark World is the last chapter, but there is a way to enter and exit from underground as well..’
“……2, 3I think it will take a year or so..”
“2, 3year.”
Langbolt burst into laughter..
“In other words, my lord, you have to survive at least two years in a place worse than hell..”
“Why are you silent? “Am I wrong?” "no. you're right." Langbolt was about to say something, but he quickly turned his head and closed his eyes..
Ankir, who seemed to be a little hopeful, muttered a curse under his breath, and Raiam still looked depressed. Ariad looked up into space with an expressionless face, and Hülterer sneered..
“So.”
Poynix asked them calmly..
“So, why don't you do it??”
“Are you going to give up? Because the possibility is extremely low?”
“It seems like they want to turn us into bastards who don't even know loyalty..”
Although the words were harsh. Langbolt had an emotionless look in his eyes, as if he was no longer angry..
“What the Lord Hana is talking about now is not about loyalty, fidelity, or loyalty. “It is a stubbornness that eats away at itself, a foolishness that causes suffering to those around it, and a foolishness that everyone will laugh at.” “That could be true.” Phoenix nodded calmly..
“I know that my plan has little chance of success..”
“The prince may have already died, and his soul may have been lost without a trace. Because almost two weeks have already passed.”
Phoenix recalled the scenery of a dark world. I can't believe I was faced with the terrible place I saw on a flat screen in real life. It's hard to even imagine.
‘Iljin, he went over with me, but I don't know if he will cooperate with the prince. Even if the two join forces, survival is... … It won't be easy.’
He shook off his brief thoughts and continued speaking..
“Did the prince himself give up??”
“I think not. You will be struggling. I think you're struggling to somehow survive, to somehow come back..”
Some looked to God in low voices, some cursed bitterly..
“It is natural to remember and miss our departed comrades. “It’s the right thing to do.” Langbolt stood up and spoke in a low voice..
“However, do not make your remaining comrades suffer because you cannot overcome your sadness..”
“Sir Langbolt.”
“i will leave.”
“I'm not finished talking yet.”
Before the blue knight left the camp, the red knight stood up first..
“Before the ultimate goal of saving the prince, we have work to do..”
“what to do?”
“ yes.”
Phoenix looked back at the five knights sitting at the table..
“Remember the prince's last words.”
At his words, those gathered in the military tent let out a short groan, narrowed their eyebrows as if they had been stabbed by something, or held their breath..
“Why is no one speaking? Did you try to knit a bird without me? Did you make a rule that you can't talk about Princess Yuril??”
“Don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with Princess Yuril?.”
“‘What do you mean? Lord Ankir. Did you just say that??”
The red knight cursed loudly and pointed his head..
“Are you just pretending not to know, or are you really a fool? Shouldn’t we find the princess and bring her back??”
“When you ask, who are you saving from? The princess lives under the protection of her father, His Majesty Lionel III.-”
“protect? Does the Lord call protecting you by locking you up in a convent and using you as a hostage??”
He spoke as if shouting beyond the people sitting at the table to the other knights and officers surrounding him..
“Even while the prince was still alive, the princess suffered countless threats of assassination and kidnapping. What will happen if his army evaporates like this??”
“It would be truly lucky to be able to grow old and die as a nun without any problems. It wouldn't be so bad to break out of confinement and be sold to an old great lord. But, I don’t think the princess’s half-brothers will allow that to happen.” Zacharis' hatred for Ulkar was so famous that there was no one in the kingdom who did not know about it. Now that Prince Silver, the kingdom's greatest warlord, has disappeared, how will Princess Yuril, who played a role in controlling him, be treated by the crown prince?…….
Aecharis, Zacharis' younger half-brother and close associate, pretended to be an easy-going prince of martial arts, but secretly had a number of sexual perversions that were embarrassing to talk about. There was a rumor going around the capital that Yuril had been trying to break into her bedroom for about six or seven years before she was called the most beautiful woman in the capital..
“Are you saying that you will go against His Majesty the King and the royal family of Xeore, Lord Phoenics??”
‘When ‘Die Dog’ Oh Jo-ri asked a question with a hard face, Poynix shook his head resolutely..
“no. I'm just trying to save my master's beloved younger brother from the swamp of misfortune..”
“What are you going to do by bringing him here??”
“Together we will save the prince. And if that fails.”
The red knight's eyes flashed black..
“We will help Princess Yuril inherit the prince's inheritance..”
“……lord's legacy?”
“yes.”
He walked past the knights, officers, and wizards..
“I will save the prince. ”
And thanks to the tent cloth being lifted up, I faced the soldiers who were watching the meeting..
“I know it's not easy. I know it's close to impossible. I know the chances of failure are much higher.. ”
Even though he didn't shout at the top of his voice, his magical voice quickly spread on the wind..
“I will save Princess Yuril. If we cannot save the prince, we will make the princess his heir. And let me ask you, what do you want?” Phoenix's voice grew louder and higher, little by little..
“If you want rights, I will give you back what should belong to you, Prince.!”
The sergeants and soldiers gathered closely held their breath and focused their attention on him..
“If you want revenge, we will happily achieve it! Because that's exactly what I want!”
The Red Knight looked around at the crowd with his flashing black eyes and asked a question..
“What are you guys going to do! dog that lost its owner
Are you going to run away like a baby?!”
At that time, the ponytail-haired Fritz and Gollman, the chieftain, came from somewhere, pulling a cart. They lifted the cloth from the cart and poured it in front of Poynix. All kinds of gold and silver, jewels, armor and weapons were piled up to knee height in an instant..
“If so, get out now! With this meager trophy in my mouth!”
Phoenix's soldiers brought carts one after another and scattered the contents, but Prince Silver's soldiers did not move as if they were nailed in place..
“Otherwise! If you want to follow me and bite and tear your master’s enemies to pieces!” visor!
He drew a long, heavy heavy sword and raised it..
“Raise your spear and answer me!”
A chilly spring wind blew past the military camp. the silence was short.
The Silver Prince Army's garrison was filled with the color of white steel and the angry shouts of 1,500 elite soldiers..
